Summary: The District is proposing the creation of this position to improve retention and recruitment practices as they directly relate to the Speech Pathologist position. There is a nationwide chronic shortage of qualified applicants for public school Speech, Language Pathologist jobs. There are ongoing ASHA certification and California Licensure requirements specific to SLP's. Developing and monitoring these staff professional activities as well as giving mentoring and coaching support to district interns would benefit greatly from having a Lead SLP in district.
Funding: Unrestricted General Fund
Fiscal Impact $25,447 (.30 FTE)
